STARVIE RAPTOR +

Starvie Raptor+ 2027: versatile performance for demanding players. The Starvie Raptor+ 2027 is a Super Pro padel racket developed for professional and semi-professional players who want a balanced performance profile. Its teardrop shape, medium balance and 350–370 g weight range are designed to combine control, stability and attacking potential across different phases of a match

The hitting surface uses 3D Carbon, paired with a M-Eva Balance core. This construction is intended to provide a precise, composed response while maintaining the blend of power, control and comfort required by a versatile playing style

Within Starvie’s 2027 Super Pro range, the model is aimed at technically developed players who can vary pace, defend with control and move forward to finish points without changing to a more specialised racket

Key features of the Starvie Raptor+ 2027

The teardrop shape gives the racket its characteristic performance window, while the medium balance keeps the weight distribution from becoming excessively focused on the head. This helps preserve manoeuvrability in transitions and stability when the pace increases

At 350–370 g, the racket has enough mass to remain stable through contact. The specification is better suited to experienced players who can manage the racket efficiently and use its weight to support depth, precision and controlled acceleration

3D Carbon works with M-Eva Balance to create a firm but balanced contact. The surface is designed for structural consistency and precision, whilst the medium-hard EVA provides a blend of control, power and comfort

The remaining technologies reinforce the frame and heart, improve movement through the air and manage vibrations according to the specific construction of the model. The objective is a predictable response during both patient point construction and more aggressive play

Technologies

3D Carbon. 3D Carbon uses a multilayer three-dimensional carbon weave designed to reinforce structural stability. It helps limit deformation of the face and maintain a precise, consistent response, including on contacts away from the centre of the sweet spot

M-Eva Balance. M-Eva Balance is a medium-hard EVA developed to combine control, power and comfort. Its balanced response gives experienced players a firm feel without moving into the more demanding character of a high-density power core

Power Balance. Power Balance allows the racket’s weight distribution to be adjusted with 4 g or 8 g rubber weights positioned on the profile, so the player can tune the setup towards more power or more control

Air Booster. Air Booster integrates an aerodynamic channel that helps the racket accelerate through the air. The aim is a quicker swing and an efficient response when the player wants to add speed to the ball

TriForce Core. TriForce Core reinforces the heart of the racket in three directions. This structure is designed to improve stability and maintain a balanced, controlled response during demanding impacts

Hexacell. Hexacell uses a hexagonal structure to reinforce the frame, improving resistance to impacts and helping the racket remain stable during play

A-Shock. A-Shock is included in the model-specific 2027 technology package and is designed to reduce vibrations generated at impact, supporting a more comfortable playing experience

Who is it recommended for?

The Starvie Raptor+ 2027 is recommended for professional and semi-professional players with a versatile style and the technique to benefit from a firm, performance-oriented racket

It suits players who value control when building the point but still want enough response to accelerate volleys, bandejas and overheads when an attacking opportunity appears

Its Super Pro positioning makes it particularly relevant for experienced players seeking a broad performance range rather than an entry-level or highly specialised setup
